We have asked for 4 villas in a row on the sunset side - so we have over 1,000 sqm of private island, watch out if other guests try to walk on our piece of heaven And we have booked 1 villa on the sunrise side in case we wake up early enough and want to go to the other side to look at the sunrise Marked in red circle, is our request LOL

I am booked at the Waldorf from July 7-13, 2019 for my birthday in a Beach Villa. I will decide if I will upgrade to a Reef Villa once they post photos.
I am also going to keep my reservation at Conrad just in case they don't open July 1 (I can cancel in June). I have already booked my flight so, I don't want to
take any chances of the opening being pushed out more.

After 7 weeks of extremely intensive research and deal seeking for mid Aug., I've reserved 4 hotels including Waldorf Astoria in case it doesn't live up to the hype. With WA, I'm more worried about baby palms not looking like upright chopsticks without leaves and decent snorkeling vs. the service or quality. Others selected and booked are typically under 5k/1week w/breakfast or HB and one including the seaplane xfer for 3. Choices are Faarufushi, JA Manafuru, & Ananatara Dhigu (least desired since WA is so close to Male anyway). Still looking for a flash deal on Vakkaru & Niyama If any of you have visited these places, please comment on your thoughts.

Restaurants?
I know nothing is shown about any of the restaurants as of yet. Does anyone have any info on them or have any interest in any of them? I'm definitely going to go try out Terra and am hoping it's not $400pp like Ithaa. The Rock interests me too, and so does Middle Eastern. Contemplating on just eating dinner at their lounge everyday if the prices are low. I got $2000 for food for 5 days, not including breakfast.

There is BBCode that achieves this: https://www.bbcode.org/examples/?id=10
Try it and see if it works on this fora.

Anyone ever tried Atoll Transfer?
Will be 2800++ for four of us to go by resort’s yacht. Atoll transfer will be 580 in total by private speedboat.
Anyone tried Atoll Transfer before? Is it safe?
Thank you Flyertalk

I might have posted in another thread but I calculated (for one way) that one night at the curio and taking atoll transfer to the Waldorf the next day is cheaper than the waldorfs option for 2... planned on doing that one way and the waldorfs private yacht the other. Unless you recommend differently after your trip
Link to the post/cost of my plan...double of your cost so your option is still the cheapest by far

Thanks for the pic. Surely a nice yacht. But wonder if it worth 2800++ for 30 mins ride.��
Maybe use that money for paid upgrade to OWV.
